U S Steel eyes Baytown plant growth amid imports pressure

U S Steel executive Tyson outlined plans for 14,000 acres near Baytown to host a combination of U S Steel facilities and satellite industries. He warned that rising foreign steel imports threaten growth and urged understanding of the import problem at the Port of Houston. He noted wage talks will start in 60 to 80 days and reported a 1967 earnings decline due to one-off costs and a steel price index just under 2 percent higher than 1966. Tyson planned to inspect the Orange plant of American Bridge Division and noted a new large-diameter pipe mill under construction there.
